City Urination Requested
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 5:10 PM
In Nottingham, England, some pranksters have put up signs signifying that public urination is acceptable in certain places after 7:30 pm. But the places are on Nottingham streets.
The notice reads: "In an attempt to reduce late night public nuisance, during the holiday period, Nottingham City Council has designated several public urination areas across the city."This urination area will be cleaned daily between the hours of 5am and 6am."
It's not true, of course, and Nottingham city officials are reminding people that peeing in public is illegal, and trying to take down the signs as quickly as they can.
This would at least be a heck of a lot cheaper than Nickels' most recent public restroom plan.

Judging by all the yellowed holes in the snow this past week, I'd say most people already do just pee all over the streets.

It's not really so bad; by the end of the night most of the lads are pissing slightly-warm but otherwise unfiltered Sam Smith's.

@1: Ever seen dogs do their business? I've got a clue for you (since you seem to be missing one) that dogs are the contributors to "yellow snow" but perhaps yer buds are into that sort of thing.

My low-cost urban restroom solution is a cardboard sign with the words "Aim For The Gutter" pinned up over every sewer grate.

Someone should simply create a website listing all publicly available restrooms on a map.
Even the ones that aren't obvious, like the ones on the 4th floor of your office building, which doesn't require an access key to get to.
'Fact, I've half a mind to try hitting elevator buttons next time I'm near office buildings and need to go.

I'm sure that reminding people that peeing in public is illegal will completely eliminate the problem.

Most of downtown Seattle smells like piss anyways and it was that way when we had the multimilliondollar crackho potties too. That's why it will always be Peeattle to me.

Hey, I'm going to piss on any street any time I wish. it rains here enough in the winter that it won't matter.
